Suzuki Twin hybrid

Few cars look more fun than the Twin. Similar in dimensions to a Smart and with Toytown styling, it even manages to turn heads in Japan, where the population is used to the surreal. But would it be a success in the UK? Suzuki's suggested starting price of £4,000 will give it a headstart, of course, so we jumped behind the wheel to see if anyone could really take the cheeky two-seater seriously.

Few cars look more fun than the Twin. Similar in dimensions to a Smart and with Toytown styling, it even manages to turn heads in Japan, where the population is used to the surreal. But would it be a success in the UK? Suzuki's suggested starting price of ΂£4,000 will give it a headstart, of course, so we jumped behind the wheel to see if anyone could really take the cheeky two-seater seriously.

Given the Twin's minuscule proportions, its obvious rival has to be Smart's City Coup

FIRST OPINION

    The bug-eyed Twin could soon be the UK's cheapest car, but we're not convinced it has what it takes to compete with budget rivals. Hybrid power has never been more accessible, yet a lack of cabin practicality limits usefulness. If finances are tight, though, it could make an interesting first car or urban runaround.
